because you would feel embarrassed or vulnerable about it.
One day, one of your classmates finds out about it and blackmails you into
doing something for him/her in exchange for his/her silence. You don’t
feel comfortable with what he/she is asking you to do, but you don’t want
your secret to be revealed. You don’t know what to do.
